Rhetoric in British Politics and Society - Paperback

by J. Atkins (Editor), A. Finlayson (Editor), J. Martin (Editor)

Although the art of rhetoric is central to the practice of politics it also plays an important role in civic and private life. Using Aristotelian notions of ethos, pathos and logos, this collection offers engaging discussions on everything from Prime Minister's Questions and Welsh devolution to political satire and the rhetoric of cultural racism.
